It causes a situation of "moral hazard", which specifically means that there is no incentive for the banks to follow the logic and mechanism of the market since someone else will ultimatly clear up the mess. Here in Sweden we had a massive bank collapse in the 90's, however because of restraint from the goverment to pay out too much money the banks learned their lesson. The swedish banks did exceptionally well during the crisis and I think we have a yearly growth of like 6% of GDP at the moment. And no, though you'd think so, we're not the last surviving sovjet republic and I'd think people would be surprised at the limited ammount of regulation of the banking sector.

Which of course is absurd. But I was under the impression "difference theory"(don't know the english term for it) has been a steadily dying trend since the 90's. Classical liberal. And as for the collective pride of being a women that is obviously irrational, but I would strongly argue it is not a neccessity for someone calling themselves feminists to have somekind of missguided solidarity. I must certainly don't.

Granted I do live and study in Sweden and may therefor have had a radically different set of referance when it comes to gender studies, but I find that the definition used in my previous post is quite frankly the only consistent argument that binds the different schools of feminism together and I do believe it capsulates the essance of all feminism since it abolishes the idea of metaphysical gender roles. What do the people that oppose your position claim that women are? You start out by saying that feminist don't agree on much, which is true, and then goes on to generalizing them all as collectivists. Admittedly most feminists are collectivists, but that does not mean a liberal position is incompatible with a feminist point of view. There is a reason for all the prefixes such as marxist feminism, liberal feminism, post-colonial feminism, queer and so on.

You seem to have a rather strange conception of what feminism is. The most common definition used in the academic world is; "Someone who acknowledges that gender is a social construction." Which is exactly what you're doing in your post.
